Erik Gustafsson has agreed to a one-year/$1 million contract with the Philadelphia Flyers.

Gustafsson had three goals and eight points in 27 games with the Flyers last season. The Flyers are over the cap and have eight blueliners guaranteed a cap hit of $1 million or more next season. With that in mind, it seems almost certain that at least one of their blueliners will be moved before the summer is over.

Matt Duchene found the back of the net in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Chicago Blackhawks.

Duchene's goal at the 12:01 mark of the second period tied the game two. The Sens forward also converted on his shootout attempt, but Chicago's Nick Schmaltz eventually won the game in the seventh round of the shootout. Duchene finished the game with a minus-1 rating, four shots on goal and two blocked shots in 20:49 of ice time. He's up to 16 goals and 37 points in 58 games. 11 of those points have come in his last eight games. Zack Smith also scored for the Senators in the loss.

Patrick Kane scored a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Ottawa Senators.

Kane also scored on his shootout attempt, but it was Nick Schmaltz that eventually scored the game-winner in the seventh round. Kane opened the scoring at the 14:19 mark of the first period before setting up Artem Anisimov's go-ahead goal (2-1) in the second frame. He finished the game with a plus-1 rating, five shots on goal and one hit in 23:40 of ice time. The 29-year-old now has 23 goals and 57 points in 61 games this season. He's accumulated four points in his last three contests.

Darcy Kuemper signed a two-year, $3.7 million extension with the Arizona Coyotes.

That works out to an AAV of $1.85 million. The Coyotes just acquired Kuemper from the Los Angeles Kings. He was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent, but the extension was clearly part of the deal. Kuemper has a 10-1-3 record with a 2.10 goals-against-average and a .932 save percentage this season. He'll likely get a lot more starts now that he's in Arizona, but he won't be able to win as many games.

The Arizona Coyotes have acquired Darcy Kuemper from the Los Angeles Kings.

The Kings are reportedly getting forward Tobias Reider and goalie Scott Wedgewood in the deal. Kuemper is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, but Coyotes beat reporter Craig Morgan is reporting that Arizona has inked him to an extension. Kuemper has been one of the better backups in the league this year, as he has a 10-1-3 record with a 2.10 goals-against-average and a .932 save percentage this season.

Price took a shot off his mask during Tuesday's game and while he stayed in the game, he wasn't on the ice for Wednesday's practice to undergo treatment. The Canadiens then recalled goalie Charlie Lindgren on an emergency basis.

Cory Schneider (groin) took part in a lightly populated optional practice on Wednesday.

Schneider was one of just eight players taking part, but the fact that he was practicing under any circumstances is a step forward for him. He was upbeat after going through the practice. "Pretty far along I'd say, compared to where I was a couple weeks ago," Schneider said of his recovery. "Today was a good workout, a lot of volume, and putting myself in some more realistic situations and positions, just trying to get a feel for where I'm at, then just keep ramping it up." Schneider isn't expected to return on Thursday or Saturday, but he might be back next week.
